Please read this,Ofcourse only if you love your baby

Dear friends

I know being a father or mother is a wonder full think

You cannot hide its thrill from others

We will do any thing for our child

Spent major part of your earnings to buy any thing for the new born

That is why so many products launched by various companies claiming that all for the comfort of your baby

Disposable diapers is one of such things

You can see loads of its packets in the shelves of neonatal clinics and nearby supermarkets and even in country side petty shops

This is a humble request from me never spent on this bloody commodity

Never by this for your baby or as present for your friends offspring

If you r in a condition not avoid it totally please... please limit its use

At least give me a word that you will never use it while you r indoor

A disposable diaper is a dangerous thing,

Yes it will give you little comfort in baby handling but it will never do the same for your baby

If one use these diapers a child need around 6000 to 8000 diapers prior to his toilet training and in other words 4.5 trees to make paper for that(considering that diaper usage for 2Yrs) yes 1billion trees worldwide is used per year for this purpose

Arise in infection mostly in baby girls is noticed due to its usage since parents change these diapers much less often than the cloth made ones

The incidence of nappy rashes is increased from 7% to 61 % in dispo diaper using babies this may due to infrequent changes, bacterial infection, chemical allergies and ammonia from accumulated feces and urine in the diapers

In tropical country like ours the chance for getting the rashes is higher

In the present condition there is no proper means to dispose the diapers and we handle it as normal garbage and tossed to hose hold, road side or hospital garbage bins

About more than 100 types of viruses can survive in these used diapers including the dangerous polio virus heavily found in recently vaccinated babies

Guess how much years will take to get a diaper decomposed

Not less than 500Yrs is the correct answer

Almost 30% of this nasty thing comprises of non biodegradales likeabsorbant vinyl, gelling, elastics, Velcro and its plastic made packages

Flushing the used diapers down the toilets also make serious problem of clogged sewage lines(Don’t wonder that which fool will do such things, many of our friends will do it ,not from their own homes but they will dispose this and sanitary napkins down the toilet when they are in a hotel room)

The material which used to absorb water is a chemical (sodium poly acryilate) capable of absorbing 100 time of water per its weight it can stick and dehydrate your baby’s genital and this chemical can cause hemorrhage and cardiovascular failure and death in win lab animals when injected

What is your decision after reading this?

Still pro to diapers then you can read this too

Nothing more with me to confess you about this

OK friend no problem you can use this

But never tell any one that you love your baby you have no right for that

What you mean by poverty line...?

What you mean by Poverty line?

I will introduce a tribal family from Wayanad district of Kerala

This is Veran and his wife belonged to Paniya community residing at Thanniyad colony.

They are living in a primitive house in the colony

Veran was an expert in coffee proooning and plucking pepper

But because of the agrarian crisis in wayanad there is no work for him for the last 2yrs

Then he migrated to near by Karnataka town Kutta In search of work and hardly get 3days work in a week with a payment of 100rupees /day

This wages only made him to cover his own expenses for food and travel .his wife was a heart patient for years and her working capacity limited to some house hold works

You guess how much was their revenue ,considering all the above said details

Yes no doubt they are not able to meet the target of one meal per day

The interesting and most worst part of the story is that as per government records this family is APL (Above Poverty Line)

His ration card (No2264047059)says that his family is above the poverty line and he not eligible for any supporting programs

How this happening

Who is determining the standards?

What they mean by the poverty line…..?

Cochins waste Who is responsible?

Waste of Cochin. Who is responsible?

On 6.12 .2006 Twenty truck full load of nasty smelling waste leaving the stink and oozing polluted waste water in its entire way, reached Wayanad after traveling long 300 plus Kilometers from Cochin, covering 5 districts of kerala
Each of the trucks carrying about 10 tons of muck generated by the gentle men of great cochin , Who are very much concerned about the cleanliness and personnel hygiene and cannot tolerate the decaying and smelling waste in the city

The waste cargo traveled the entire kerala portion of its journey clearing all types of check posts run by deferent departments with routine dealings and finally caught blocked at Moolahalla forest check post of Bandipur national park in the state of Karnataka about 20 Kilometers prior to its final destination; Gundulpett, a small village with large agricultural areas and of poor farmer population.

The forest officials asked for proper documents of the waste transfer and the no objection certificate from the local authorities were it is going to be disposed
The poor truck drivers have only one photo copy of an agreement executed by one Gopalan ,Soil house ,Vadakara to the cochin corporation that he is ready to take away the waste from corporations dumping yard for proper disposal @ Rs 1365/ Metric ton ,all the drivers were booked by a lorry booking agency at cochin as return trip @Rs6000/load from Cochin to Gundulpett and the poor illiterate truck drivers thought that this is a valuable document from government and the transit will be very easy and the contractor’s men also accompanied them in separate vehicles and made all necessary dealings in all places were occurred any problem
Here at Moolahalla Check post also the problem was solved in the next day and the entire waste was dumped in a private land with an agreement that the land owner will get Rs 2000 pr load

During its no entry halt, all the twenty trucks parked in the core wild life area of Wayanad Wild life sanctuary and Bandipur national park blocking the wild life crossing especially of pachyderms and spreading the pathogens which definitely the waste materials will contain, to the pollution free wild habitat

This is the major question whether these wild animals or the poor farmers of Gundulpett were responsible for the waste generated by the ugly urban
Can we justify the action of the Corporation authorities to dispose the waste without knowing where it is going to be dumped finally?
Where all the scientific communities gone when the convoy of waste loaded trucks traveled through the five districts spreading all its stink and harmful bio organisms in its route

What is the cost of waste? Rs 1365per ton? Paying that much amount will give you license to produce another ton of waste? How these poor villagers of neighbor state are responsible for Cochins nasty waste and who gave you the authority to dump the damaging waste to his living land?
Will any one of you in Cochin allow your neighbor to dispose his waste in your living room?

Who is this contractor and what type of waste he is taking through the north kerala and through the two major wild life sanctuaries and who is inspecting and supervising the waste transfer?
Whether the land owner ship of few acres make a man licensed to dump any type of waste in it and make the surroundings polluted?

Don’t bother to answer all or any one of these questions
Go and enjoy, create as much of waste you can produce
Put a tender to take away the waste to anybody’s surroundings
Let us keep Cochin clean
